What is a next-gen SIEM?

A quick answer to a common question about security information and event management (SIEM).

Next-gen SIEM is a loose label for security information and event management (SIEM) products that add cloud-scale storage, behavioral analytics, built-in automation, or AI features to traditional log management. Many teams are moving a step further to agentic security operations center (SOC) platforms such as Exaforce, where AI agents work each alert through detection, triage, investigation, and response, and analysts review the explainable verdicts.
